(Am)I can close my eyes and see that (C)sweet look (G)of sur prise there on your face; it’s worth the wait. (Gsus)Hang the (G)mis tle toe by the (Am11)fire’s glow, put the (G)an gel on the tree, light a (Am11)can dle in the win dow just for (Dm11)me. I’ll (G)bring you all my heart and soul, my love, my hugs and (D)kiss (C)es. I’m com ing (G)home, I’m com ing (Am7)home (D6)for (Am)Christ (G)mas.
